The Zonta Club of Malden, USA, with the Malden Z club, launched its 16 Days of Activism campaign with a Silent Witness event honoring victims of domestic violence in Massachusetts. During the event, Zonta members read the names of homicide victims from January to September 2024, shedding light on the ongoing crisis.

A commemorative display will remain at Malden City Hall throughout the 16-day campaign, complemented by additional activities, including a billboard promoting the “Zonta Says No” initiative, a postcard campaign advocating for the Equal Rights Amendment and a social media drive to raise awareness and foster allyship.

The club also aims to raise donations during the campaign to support its ongoing project of assembling blessing bags for organizations aiding survivors of domestic violence. These efforts underline Zonta’s commitment to advocating for gender equality and supporting those impacted by violence.
